There are certain guilty pleasures that linger from childhood. For many of us born in the ‘70s and ‘80s, one of those childhood attachments is “The Muppets!” That’s why it’s exciting that our kids get to share in the adventures with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and all the other characters we used to love. If you missed the latest version of The Muppets in theaters, don’t worry: it’s being released as a DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack on March 20th! The movie itselfRead More ...

Putumayo world music CD’s seem to capture, in my opinion, the best a genre of music has to offer and the Instrumental Dreamland CD is by no means an exception. One of the features I love about Putumayo’s music is that they also seem to cover several international musicians in one CD. Whether the soothing tunes help your little one get to sleep or if it’s music from the children’s Brazilian Playground which gets my bebita bobbing her head fromRead More ...
